"Margot…" Curtis got up and walked toward her.Margot ignored him and walked past him to the desk. Then, she sat down and proceeded to review her course materials.Curtis followed her behind and stood there, bending down and leaning close to her. "It's been a few days since we last saw each other. Don't you miss me?"His voice was gentle yet alluring.Margot turned her body away, refusing to let him touch her. "You should leave. My coursemates are coming over soon."Her attitude remained cold.Curtis sighed. "Are you still angry?"Margot remained silent, her eyes fixed on the book before her.Curtis bent down again from behind and hugged her, his chin resting on her shoulder as he whispered, "Margot, be a darling and come home with me. I'll make it up to you."Margot was unmoved, but she no longer resisted his touch.Curtis bit her earlobe, his voice magnetic and seductive as he said, "Do you want me to carry you home? I don't mind being watched."Margot wasn't comfortable w
As soon as Curtis returned to the Royal Villa, he ran into Gabriel, who was standing at the entrance, hesitant about entering the house.After getting out of the car, he came up behind Gabriel and asked, "What are you doing standing here sneakily?"Gabriel turned around and sighed, "You came back just in time. I'll sleep at your place tonight.""Why didn't you go home? Why did you come to my place?""I'm afraid Natalie will bring up the divorce again. Let's go."Gabriel put his arm around Curtis' shoulder, and they walked back to Curtis' villa.Curtis was irritated by Gabriel's touch and shrank away from Gabriel's hand with disdain. "You two still haven't worked things out?""How am I supposed to work it out? It's fine if she doesn't see me, but as soon as she sees me, she brings up divorce. Even Benjamin is very resistant toward me. Now, whenever I want to see them, I can only hide and watch them from a distance." "Serves you right," said Curtis, showing no sympathy for his
"Margot doesn't want to have a baby. Forget about it. What's the point of talking about this? Come on, let's continue."Curtis poured another glass and downed it in one go again.Gabriel wasn't quite drunk yet. However, he didn't want to drink anymore. He got up and gestured to Curtis, saying, "Come on, take me back home.""Don't you know the way? Why do you still want me to take you back?" Curtis ignored his request.Gabriel explained, "I'm pretending to be drunk. It would be more dignified if you took me back. Otherwise, I'll be too embarrassed to face them."Curtis snorted, "You're still trying to act dignified in your current state?""Quit your yapping, and let's go."Gabriel forcefully pulled Curtis up and dragged him out the door.Curtis was very reluctant. He wouldn't want to collude with Gabriel if they hadn't grown up together since childhood.When they arrived at Natalie's place, it was already 8:00 pm.After Curtis rang the doorbell, Gabriel immediately slouched ag
As Curtis walked away, Natalie completely ignored Gabriel, who was sleeping on the floor, and carried Benjamin upstairs to sleep.Before walking upstairs, she also instructed Mary to ignore Gabriel.Before long, the spacious living room was left with only Gabriel lying on the carpet. Moreover, his clothes were still wet from Benjamin pouring warm water over him.He opened his eyes, looked around, and saw no one around.He could only lie there, feeling miserable and with no one to comfort him.How could Natalie be so ruthless?He was so drunk that he passed out on the floor, and she just walked away.After lying there for a while and realizing that no one was coming to help him, Gabriel felt too embarrassed to continue the act. He quietly got up and went upstairs to sleep in the guest room.Meanwhile, Curtis came home to see Doris cleaning up the table, so he instructed, "Don't clean it up yet. I'll have two more drinks." He sat alone, picked up the bottle, and took a big swig
Curtis bent down and approached Wendy, intending to kiss her.Subconsciously, Curtis knew that Margot was pregnant, so he couldn't touch her, fearing that he would hurt the baby. Therefore, he endured that discomfort and immediately flipped over to the side.Wendy, who was lying on the bed, had already prepared herself. However, she never thought that Curtis would avoid her again. She sat up and looked at him.Observing Curtis lying next to her, it was evident that he felt uneasy.Despite the discomfort, Curtis still managed to hold himself back and not touch her.Wendy was inexperienced in such matters and didn't know how to initiate it. However, she couldn't just give up like that.She was determined to make Curtis sleep with her. She leaned in, wanting to kiss him.Curtis felt someone approaching him, so he pushed her away and murmured in a haze, "No, Margot, don't come over. I don't want to hurt the baby…"He was really uncomfortable.He wanted to get up and go to the bath
Curtis was still in denial, shouting, "I asked you, how did you get here? Who told you to come back?"Wendy sobbed, her tears continuing to flow. "Ms. Stone asked me to bring the ring back for her. I brought it back and found you drunk downstairs. I wanted to help you to bed, but you mistook me for Ms. Stone…"Curtis turned away, refusing to look at Wendy. Suppressing the pain in his chest, he ordered, "Get up, put on your clothes, and leave now! Don't tell anyone about what happened last night. Do you understand?"Wendy sat there, still crying.Curtis, still furious, shouted, "I'll give you anything you want, but you must never show up in front of me again!"Wendy sobbed. "What could I possibly want? In my current state, where else can I go?"As Wendy's cries intensified, Curtis grew increasingly agitated and angry. He turned and left the room.When he came back, he threw a card at Wendy. "There are ten million dollars inside. Take the money and disappear from my sight. I never
Natalie wanted everyone around her to be happy and healthy.Margot lowered her head in silence, her hand reaching for her abdomen.Natalie glanced at Margot and asked, "Since you're pregnant, are you experiencing any pregnancy symptoms, such as nausea or vomiting?"Margot shook her head.Following her pregnancy, she didn't experience any symptoms except for occasional mood swings. Surprisingly, her appetite remained quite robust.Natalie chuckled, remarking, "Curtis hasn't been feeling well lately, has he? Maybe it's because you're pregnant, and all your pregnancy symptoms are getting transferred to him."Margot was confused and turned to look at her. "What do you mean? What does my pregnancy have to do with him?""This phenomenon is often referred to as sympathetic pregnancy. Essentially, it means that Curtis is undergoing pregnancy-like symptoms, even though he's not actually pregnant. This is likely a result of his emotional connection with you and his anticipation of becomin
Curtis was taken aback when Margot called him. She hadn't responded to his calls over the past week and seemed reluctant to return home.Did Natalie really succeed in convincing her to come back home?However, when he recalled the shameful things he had done, he couldn't suppress his guilt and spoke in a somber tone, "Are you at home?"Margot hummed in acknowledgment. Curtis hesitated momentarily before saying, "I won't be home tonight. Why don't you spend some time with Natalie?"He felt too ashamed to face her after what happened. He needed some time to calm down and adjust his mindset.Margot couldn't hide her disappointment when she heard that. "Alright then, you go ahead and get busy.""Alright, make sure you take good care of yourself too."Curtis ended the call. Margot's eyes lingered on the disconnected call, a sudden ache settling in her heart. Despite her return and taking the initiative to call, it seemed he did not intend to return that night.She was utterly di
